Leap Motion To Be Embedded in HP PCs

After striking a lucrative deal with ASUS earlier this year, touch technology controller and Kickstarter success story Leap Motion has a partnership Hewlett Packard to bring the technology inside the computer company's new generation of PCs. This is the first embedding deal for the hardware startup, which has landed major partnerships even before its initial controller has been shipped to the public.

In addition to a fully integrated hardware system, every HP product with Leap Motion integrated will also have a native build of the hardware's app marketplace, AirSpace. There is no specific product list, price range or timing calendar at this time, but HP PCs will be bundled with a separate Leap Motion controller as early as this summer.

Standalone Leap Motion controllers are still available for pre-order through the company's website and Best Buy for $79.99. All units are expected to ship in May.

What do you think of the partnerships Leap Motion has made? Let us know in the comments.
